This old "fantasy land" critique of left-wing policy is so boring and limiting.
Fighting for better healthcare or working toward poverty reduction is no more or less "fantasy" than plugging away at a spreadsheet for a weapons manufacturer or venture capital firm.

The first thing I asked myself when reading those is “is this a proposal that can be made by the executive or by congress?”
After applying that, only two of those items were even slightly still on the table, and then would only be as executive orders that would likely be overturned by congress as unconstitutional (whether they actually were or not).
If the OP wants an actual leftist government, they don’t need to elect a leftist president, but a leftist congress. Even one or two representatives at first.
thanks for using Leebra!

"I would be shocked if Harris adopted even one of these proposals..." Yeah, because the majority of these all bad faith. GTFO with this fantasy land nonsense. Surprised one of your planks isn't "Bring back dragons." or "Grant 3 wishes."
I will give you #2, 5, and 6 though. They at least, seem somewhat rational/achievable. #5 isn't really enforceable though. You'll always have outside money influence elections. Why tie up healthcare with union representation and living wage? Make them separate issues.
This is mostly just fantasy land garbage that just shows you don't know anything about running a modern nation, or how politics work. If this really is Claudia's platform, well... she shouldn't be running anything larger than a supermarket.
